Lasagna Soup

Let me start off by saying that I've seen this soup all over social media and have always wanted to take a stab at it. I don't know why I've waited this long! This soup is a full meal and is meaty, savory, and will be loved by your friends and family.

This is a quick soup to make which makes it perfect for a weeknight dinner.

I researched other people's recipes for this soup and there are a lot of variations. Some people cook the pasta in a separate pot, while others, like myself, cook the pasta directly in the soup. And, speaking of pasta, you should use lasagna noodles for this recipe, however, from my experience with my White Lasanga recipe, I found it a bit harder to eat. I used farfalle instead.

I hope you make this and enjoy it as much as we did!
